The next morning Jessica woke up to find Seth's side empty. She turned in bed and looked at the clock to find that it was ten o'clock already. Wide eyed she tried to stand up, but lost her balance and fell, her face turning very pale. Seth ran into the room when he heard the commotion and saw Jess on the floor. He run to her, picked her up and placed her back on the bed.

-Jess, are you alright? What happened?

-I'm… I'm so tired I can't even stand up. What's going on? Your friend didn't warn us about this.

-Okay, don't worry. I'm going to measure your blood pressure; it might be a bit low.

He went to one of the drawers and took a black box out. He placed a strange instrument in her arm, pumped it for a couple of seconds and waited a few minutes before placing it back in the box.

-Everything seems normal, I don't understand. I'm going to call Dr. Hamilton. Don't move from here; don't even try to sit down

He stood and picked up the phone. He dialed the doctor's number and waited a few minutes, looking at Jessica, who had her eyes closed and seemed to be drifting back to sleep.

-Dr. Hamilton.

-Jeremy, its Seth.

-Oh Seth. It's something wrong?

-It's Jess, she's feeling really tired and can't even stand up. Is that normal?

-Yes. Don't worry Seth, she will be feeling like that for a few days, it's just her body adjusting to a rush of hormones that normally it doesn't have, so don't worry. Once she's feeling better you can have walks around the hotel, but not much further from there so she can keep her body active but without letting her overdo it.

-Thank you Jeremy, but I would like you to run some tests on her.

-What tests?

-Glucose levels. Just to be sure she isn't developing anything.

-Did she have members of her family with diabetes or any other illnesses that have to do with glucose?

-Not that I know of, but just to be on the save side. There shouldn't be any problems, but…

-I'll tell the nurse to run them. You have an appointment at 5, so don't worry and let Jessica rest. It will be a difficult process and she needs to, okay Seth?

-Of course Jeremy, and thank you.

-Seth, wait! If she faints or doesn't want to eat, bring her right away. Do you understand? I've had woman who have felt that this was too much pressure and that have fallen into deep depressions because they thought they weren't going to be good mothers or that they wouldn't be able to keep it alive.

-I'll do it if it happens. Thank you.-Seth hung up and sat next to Jess.-How are you feeling?

-I'm tired, but that doesn't mean I'm not hungry-she smiled at him opening her eyes.

-One English breakfast coming right up. You wait here, I'll cook you the best breakfast you've ever had in your entire life-he kissed her cheek and left the room.

-Seth, aren't you forgetting something?-she looked at the door and waited for him to return a few seconds later.

-Hotel. No kitchen.

-That's right. You can phone room service and ask them to bring it up, and maybe you and I can stay here all morning.

-I had planned on doing just that, but I have to give you your daily injection first.

She rolled her eyes and pulled her nightgown over her head as Seth took the box out of the drawer. After injecting it he kissed her belly and then phoned room service as Jess put her nightgown back on.

-They will be here in a few minutes, so we can just lie here doing nothing.

-Seth would you like to have a boy or a girl?-he turned to look at her.

-I would like to have a girl that looks just like you.- Jess kissed him lightly, nestling against his chest and took his hands on hers.

Seth helped Jess out of the taxi and walked to the hospital where Dr. Hamilton was waiting for them at the door.

-Well, I see you've made it here without any problem.

-Yeah, but it took us half an hour to get dressed and take a taxi.

-I've managed to book a room for us, but we have to go, you know how people in hospitals can be.

They walked to the elevator up to the second floor, took a turn to the left and then entered a room where a nurse was waiting there.

-Dr. Hamilton, everything's ready. I've been throwing people out for fifteen minutes.

-Mrs. Hazlitt, could you lie down on the stretcher?

She did as she was told and looked at Seth, who was standing next to her.

-Nurse, a complete test.

-Yes doctor, but if I may say something, we could jump some of the tests, no? She obviously looks healthy. She doesn't look as if she has diabetes or any of that.

-No, we need every single test. Now, you take care of her arm, and I will do the ultrasound.

The nurse rolled Jessica's sleeve up and took the needle. She filled one tube, and then another, and then another. Dr. Hamilton unbuttoned Jessica's blouse and placed some gel on her belly.

-Alright, if you look here you can see that your ovaries are swollen, which is a good sign. You should stop bleeding either today or tomorrow, which is a good sign too. I don't see anything strange, and as soon as the blood tests come I'll tell you if something is wrong, which I very much doubt. You can get dressed now Mrs. Hazlitt.

-It's normal for the nurse to take so many tubes filled with blood?-she put her blouse back in place.

-Yes, but it's alright. Well, this is what we are going to do every single day.

-Now that I know I feel much more comfortable and relaxed. Can we go?

-Yes you can. Just be careful and don't forget the injections.

-Of course. Until tomorrow, Dr. Hamilton. - Jess and Seth stood up and left the room.

-Well, that was quick.

-That's a good sign

-Do you think everything is okay?

-I know everything is okay.

-But you said this morning that you were worried about my glucose.

-It's not uncommon for woman to develop diabetes in their pregnancy.

-But I'm not pregnant yet.

-I know, but I prefer to have that side covered, watch it so I know that there's very little chance of you developing it. It's not dangerous most of the time, but it's uncomfortable and I want to spare you of that-he kissed her cheek before stepping outside.
